Power Rankings

Soak in Gasol's ugliness

My top 5 piled up quite a few losses over the past week. The Lakers fell to Utah, Cleveland lost to Indy, San Antonio was beaten by a Bosh-less Raptors team while the Hornets lost two games to Memphis and Boston.

The only team not to lose – the Celtics. They scored road victories over the Mavs and Hornets.

Changes from last week: The Hornet are out and the Magic are in.

1. Lakers – Odom’s had 19, 18 and 17 rebounds in last 3 games.

2. Celtics – Feeling a lot better after two big road wins.

3. Cavs – Wait. A call actually went against LeBron?

4. Spurs – Trade rumors involving Vince Carter are stunning.

5. Magic – Have zero chance of winning it all, but no other team stands out.

OCLakers, He looks like what was floating in the toilet after I went to a Mexican restaurant

Ugh – don’t point that thing at me.

Could Vince coming to San Antonio really vault them into true contender status, or is he just a player that can never win a championship? Opinions?

I think that Gregg Popovich is the best coach in the NBA, and if anyone can make Vince a winner, it would be him. They have great chemistry on that team. However, it seems hard to picture Vince Carter, fall-away J’s and 30% shooting percentages, fitting well with that Spurs team.
